1 13 GREEN WARRIOR (CD385) Y T Cheng -- About 2Ls off speed in midfield down centre of track until halfway, picked up well to lead at 200 M, shot well clear and eased down final 50 M, very easily.
2 2 GROOM RAIDER (CD329) R Fradd -- Disputed lead until halfway, clear lead at 400 M but headed at 200 M, no chance with winner but stayed on best of the rest for 2nd.
3 4 BLUE GENES (CG055) F Coetzee CP1/TT1 Always prominent within 2Ls of the pace until the 200 M, stayed on same pace for 3rd.
